How to Improve Self Motivation

There are
various ways to improve self motivation and this can be done by following seven
basic steps:

1. Make sure you work assiduously on
your motivation by setting yourself goals. You need to plan and visualize what
it is you want to achiever. If you set yourself an ambitious goal you are more
likely to succeed than smaller goals. You need to place reminders that will
keep you on route and allow you to stay committed. You can help yourself by
reading quotations on motivation, or even use images and photos that will
remind you what it is you are aiming at.

2. You can set yourself a reward, which
will help you achieve the desired goal and reward the outcome. You must have a
system that rewards as well as one that motivates both for smaller projects and
larger ones.

3. It is great to have grand objective
but it is important to know exactly how you will get to the goal you have set.
This means that it may be easier to divide larger projects into smaller plans
or steps, in order to make them more conceivable.

4. You may find it a good source of
motivation when you set yourself deadlines, which you must respect. Try to
imagine a sort of fine or penalty if you do not respect the deadline.

5. If we keep our goals and aspirations to ourselves we allow tend to justify
our slow progress or lack of focus. If we tell others, they will remind us when
we are not on track or making excuses. Be careful who you pick when looking for
an accountability partner or member of your support team. Some may actually
discourage you at every turn while some will never disagree with you. You need
someone who will encourage you keep moving, but also speak up when results are
less than optimal.

6. You can plan and make project easily, but if you do
not put anything at stake then you are most likely going to miss out on your
goals. It is important to have a strong personal motivation for the goal you
have in mind or you may lack in energy and will not put enough effort into the
plan.

7. Keep track of your progress, in order to assess how
much you really are getting done and if you are progressing enough. Note all
your successes and setbacks and also allow yourself an occasional celebration
when you achieve a big step, as well as taking note of the mistakes you make so
that they can serve you for the future. You will find that keeping track of
setbacks and progress will allow you to visualize the whole project and see
what patterns arise from your tracking. You can then tell what does not work
well and what does. This will allow you to plan better for the future and
achieve a higher rate of positive performance.
